47 - US v Anderson; US v Smith; and The Clergy Privilege

This is the last episode for Season 2 of Litigator Libations!  In this week's episode I discuss two recent cases from the Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces.  Specifically, United States v. Anderson, where CAAF rejects the arguments in favor or requiring unanimous verdicts at courts-martial and United States v. Smith, where CAAF stretches the excited utterance hearsay exception to cover epiphanies.  We then turn to Major Allen Abrams who discusses the Clergy privilege by not only explaining the rule, but giving great advice on how the rules applies to clients and other witnesses and things counsel should do when the privilege may come into play.
